How
Does
The
Microwave
Work?
t):::1.)t::l:t:.1:.tt::
Microwaves
area form ofhighfrequency
radio
waves
similar
tothose
usedby
aradioincluding AM;FM
andCB.They
are,
however,much
shorterthanradio
waves;
approximately
five
incheslong.
Electricityis
convertedinto
microwave
energy
by
themagnetron
tube.From
themagnetron
tube,
microwave
energyis
transmitted
andabsorbed.
Reflection
Microwaves
arereflected
bymetal
just
asaballis
bounced
offawall.A combination
ofstationary
(interior
walls)
and
rotating
antenna,located
underneath
the
bottomshelf
assure
thatthemicrowaves
arewell
distributedwithin
theovencavitv
toproduce evenheating
orcookingoffoods.
Transmission
Microwaves
pass
through
some
materials
suchas
paper,
glass
and
plastic
muchlike
sunlight
shiningthrough
awindow
Because
thesesubstances
donot absorb
orreflect the
microwave
energy,they
areidealmaterials
formicrowave
ovenheatino
containers.
Absorption
Duringheating,microwaves
will
be
absorbedbyfood.They
penetrate
toadepthofabout
3/,
to1'lz-inches.
Microwave
energyexcitesthemolecules
in
the
food(especially
water,fat
and
sugar
molecules),
andcausesthem
to
vibrate
ata rate of
2,450,000,000
times
per
second.Thisvibration
causes
friction,
andheat
is
produced
just
as
you
willleelheat
produced
if
you
vigorously
rub
your
hands
together.The
internal
heatingoflarger
foodsis
doneby
conduction.The
heat
whichis
produced
by
friction
travels
byconduction
tothe
center
ofthefood.Foods
alsocontinue
toheat
byconduction
duringstanding
time.
Because
microwaves
dissipate,much

theEarth'ssurface,
